Marseille (a) statement

From NUFC, Thursday:

We will be formally raising our concerns with UEFA, Olympique de Marseille and French police in relation to the unacceptable treatment of our supporters by police at Stade Vélodrome following Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixture.

Following the final whistle, our supporters were required to remain in the stadium for a period of up to one hour on the instruction of local authorities to ensure their safety when leaving the stadium.

Plans were in place to move 500 supporters at a time, with a police escort to the Metro station for onward travel to Place de la Joliette.

Our supporters were in good spirits despite the disappointing result and waited patiently and without incident during the holdback period.

The post-match operation was observed at close quarters by our stewards and senior staff.

'Unnecessary and disproportionate force'

Once the first group of supporters was released, the police began using unnecessary and disproportionate force to stop the remainder of our fans from moving any further. This was actioned through a combination of pepper spray, batons and shields, with numerous supporters being indiscriminately assaulted by the police.

Many supporters were visibly distressed, particularly in the upper concourse area of the away sector, where crushing became apparent.

Our staff immediately addressed the matter with the police, however this had limited impact on their excessive tactics.

Fans leaving the stadium rightly shared their distress, frustration and anger with our staff, and we have subsequently received deeply concerning witness reports from supporters who were in attendance.

Supporter safety and welfare should always be of paramount importance, and we strongly condemn the treatment of our supporters by the police during this incident.

Next steps

We will be calling on UEFA, Olympique de Marseille and local authorities to formally investigate this matter to ensure lessons are learned and this behaviour is not repeated.

We are continuing to liaise with the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) as we gather evidence on behalf of our supporters.

Were you in attendance?

We would like to hear from supporters affected by this incident as we collate as much supporting information as possible. This will also be shared with UEFA, UKFPU and the Football Supporters Europe organisation.

Supporters who wish to share their witness report should email [email protected]

Update:
Les O'Neill RIP

Former Newcastle United midfielder Les O'Neill has died, days before his 82nd birthday.

Northumberland born Les played for New Hartley Juniors and Blyth Spartans before joining the Magpies in 1961, playing alongside the likes of David Craig and Bob Moncur in the FA Youth Cup-winning side during his first season at SJP.

Becoming a regular in the reserves, O'Neill was called upon for senior team duty just once, a 2-5 loss at Portsmouth in Division Two during October 1963.

Sidelined by injury for almost a year, Les was transferred to Darlington in 1965 and later joined Bradford City before five years at Carlisle United brought him to prominence.

Helping the Cumbrians gain promotion to Division One in 1974, he scored three goals in their first two top-flight fixtures as Carlisle briefly topped the table.

Affected by fitness issues again, Les played his final games for Queen of the South and became a milkman in Carlisle.

Later off-field involvement saw him take charge of Penrith and Workington in addition to coaching and scouting for Carlisle, Blackpool and Wycombe Wanderers.

Premier League:
Everton (a)

Saturday sees the Magpies debut at the 52,700 capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium of Everton, the 61st different venue to have hosted a Premier League fixture involving them.

It's a 5.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.

Team: Kieran Trippier and William Osula won't feature.

EFC: Merlin Rohl, Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson are all on the injured list.

Monday saw David Moyes make an enjoyable return to former club Manchester United, the Toffees running out 1-0 winners despite playing 77 minutes with 10 men after the dismissal of Idrissa Gueye for striking a team mate.

He'll be suspended for our visit while Everton are also set to be without Seamus Coleman, after he had to be replaced early on in the victory at Old Trafford.

The Toffees have staged six PL games at their new home; defeating Brighton, Crystal Palace and Fulham, drawing with Aston Villa and West Ham and losing to Spurs.

Referee:
Craig Pawson - fresh from an eventful evening on VAR duty for Newcastle versus Manchester City, this will be the third NUFC game that the South Yorkshire whistler has handled this season following the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa and the 1-2 loss at Brighton.

Youth League:
U19s lose again

Marseille U19s  2  Newcastle U19s  0

Pointless in their previous four U19 UEFA Youth League ties, United's youngsters failed to break their duck on Tuesday afternoon, beaten by a goal in each half by Marseille at the Stade Francis Turcan home of FC Martigues.

The hosts had only one point from a possible 12, but went ahead on 13 minutes when Said Remadnia took Antoine Valero's pass and clipped the ball over goalkeeper Roman Dowell.

The scorer was booked for removing his shirt in celebration.

Newcastle's task was made more difficult following the dismissal of Anthony Munda for a rash tackle midway through the second half but the ten men held out until the fifth added minute when Valero struck from close range after Dowell fumbled a shot.

Team: Dowell, Shahar, Old, Watts, Charlton, Munda, Finneran (Taylor 74), Bailey (Brayson 62), Seldon (Ferreira 62), Wooster (Johnson 71), Seung-soo.
Subs n/u: Jones, Durrant, Moran, Pinnington, Yildiz.

Booked: Bailey, Seung-soo.

Sent off: Munda

ST holders have 24 hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to buy.


Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.

The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above that point division get a couple of hours head start.

Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log on and complete your purchase regardless. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History
27th November


Born Or Died:

1965 Scott Sellars born, Sheffield.
(1993-95)

A well-liked figure during his time at SJP, "Scoot" began his career with Leeds United before moving on to Blackburn Rovers.

Signed during March 1993 for £700K, Sellars debuted alongside fellow new arrival Mark Robinson in a 2-2 home draw with Charlton Athletic later that month.

Scoring his first Newcastle goal during a 6-0 demolition of Barnsley at Gallowgate, Scott then netted a memorable free kick to beat the mackems and virtually seal promotion.

Missing the opening months of the following season due to a bout of pleurisy, Sellars enjoyed a good run in the first team until further fitness problems saw him sidelined for a ten month period from November 1994.

With David Ginola coming to prominence, Sellars was declared surplus to requirements and sold to Bolton Wanderers in December 1995 - United making £500K profit.

Sellars later served Huddersfield Town and Danish club Aarhus, turning down the chance of a return to the UK in 2001 with Northampton Town before subsequently joining Mansfield Town.

A trial at non-league Kettering Town followed before returning to Field Mill and coaching Stags youngsters - taking on a similar role at Sheffield United in 2003.

A spell as assistant to Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson - a former team mate from his Blackburn days - followed, before 2009 saw Sellars added to the coaching staff at Manchester City's youth Academy.

Subsequently heading up City's youth operations, Scott returned to SJP in September 2013 as part of the Newcastle United Legends side who gathered to face AC Milan Glorie in Steve Harper's farewell.

Ending his time at Manchester City in 2014, Sellars was soon snapped up by Wolves to coach their reserve side.

He left Molineux in November 2022. 

1969 David Robinson born, Walkergate. (1986-92)

Striker who came through the junior ranks at SJP to appear for the reserves, with periodic call-ups to the first team - although he was never to start a competitive senior match.

David's debut came at the age of 18, when he replaced John Robertson in a 1-0 home loss to Arsenal in November 1988.   

Robinson's lone strike came against Reading at SJP in an FA Cup in January 1990 on his first outing of the season - leaving him some way short of Mick Quinn and Mark McGhee, who grabbed 34 and 25 goals respectively that season.

After a spell on loan at Peterborough United in 1991, the Wallsend Boys Club graduate was released by Newcastle, moved on to Reading and subsequently Blackpool.

Moving into non-league circles at Gateshead and Bishop Auckland, David spent time on trial with Lincoln City and later added both Cambridge United and Berwick Rangers to his CV before finishing up at Whitley Bay.

A NUFC.com reader reports that Robbo later turned out in the Tyneside Sunday League for Heaton Hussar.

1983 Aaron Labonte born, Middlesbrough. (2000-03)

Academy defender who failed to make the transition to reserve team level and was released in 2003.

Trials at Livingston, Hartlepool United and Sheffield Wednesday (appearing for the Owls second string against Newcastle) followed, before Aaron did enough to win a permanent deal with Dunfermline Athletic.

Debuting against Rangers in the SPL during September 2003, he made 90 appearances at East End Park between 2003 and 2007.

Labonte ended his first season at the Pars with a Scottish FA Cup loser's medal, beaten 1-3 by Celtic at Hampden Park.

However, he wasn't selected when the two sides met again in the 2007 final and went out on loan to Irish side Finn Harps in 2008.

That transfer was then made permanent when Aaron's Dunfermline deal expired in May 2008 but he left the Donegal side a year later.

2011 Death of Gary Speed, 42.

The peace of a Sunday morning was shattered when the Football Association of Wales announced the death of their national team Manager, sending the football world into a genuine state of shock.

A Cheshire police spokesman then said:

"At 7.08am this morning, Sunday 27 November, police were informed of an incident at Aldford Road, Huntington. 

"Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and next of kin have been informed." 

Further quotes confirmed that the man was found hanged and identification confirmed that it was Gary Speed.

Universally admired across football, the Welsh international midfielder played 285 time for the Magpies between February 1998 and May 2004, scoring 40 goals. 

Gary was part of the side beaten at Wembley in 1998 and 1999 FA Cup Finals as well as the 2000 semi-final there. 

Awarded the MBE in June 2010, Speed completed the London Marathon that year to help raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, commenting then that: 

"The best years I had there (at SJP) were with Sir Bobby Robson. He was a lovely man."


And exactly nine years before his death, Speed was part of the Newcastle side in Champions League action against Inter Milan at SJP.

Speaking fondly of his time on Tyneside despite departing for Bolton in a move seen as premature in some quarters, Gary's professionalism, dignity and intelligence made him one of football's good guys. 

The previous Saturday had seen him appear as a guest on BBC's "Football Focus" show alongside Alan Shearer.

Needless to say, his passing was a massive shock, still bordering on the unbelievable. In short, someone who graced the black and white shirt and is sadly missed. RIP.

A game which had simmered threatened to get out of hand, following a penalty award to the home side and according to the Athletic News reporter, the referee "called the whole of the players around him for a lecture which surely could have been no less than a general caution."

1937 Fulham (a)
2-1
(1-1)
Division Two 
Park(42), Smith(46

Warburton(35) 
14,000
United's first away win of the season was due in part to home 'keeper Alf Tootill, who judged that Jack Smith's free kick in the opening minute of the second half was going wide. It wasn't.

A section of home fans protested outside Craven Cottage after full time, calling on Fulham officials to come out and face them.

Facing the bottom of the league side, Newcastle were looking to chalk up their seventh successive victory, but despite taking a two goal lead were no match for a Terriers side for which 35 year-old Peter Doherty hit a hat-trick. 

1954 Huddersfield Town (h) 2-2 (1-2)
Division One 
Curry(21), White(88) 
Watson(3), Burrell(40)
36,409
United's indifferent form at Gallowgate continued with this barely deserved point - despite the fact that the visitors had lost the services of goalkeeper Jack Wheeler before half-time.

Incapacitated by a collision with Newcastle's Bill Curry, Wheeler remained on the field in an outfield role but played little part in the game. His place was taken between the posts by striker Jimmy Glazzard.

1957 Hearts (Scotland) (h) 2-0 (2-0)
Friendly 
Eastham(28), White(44)

A Wednesday night friendly under the floodlights at Gallowgate finally saw the hosts defeat the Jambos for the first time in five visits to Tyneside during as many years.

Woodward(66pen), Jones(90), T.Wagstaff(90+3)
13,880
The Magpies were good value for their half time lead on a frozen Bramall Lane pitch, with Dave Hilley setting up both goals.

Ron McGarry's needless handball gave the Blades a foothold in the game, but at the end of normal time Newcastle still led and many home fans had walked away in disgust.

Enter Mick Jones, who blasted past visiting 'keeper Gordon Marshall from 18 yards. And with almost the last kick of the game, Tony Wagstaff broke away and won it.  

1971 Stoke City (a)

Cannell(12)

Attacking the Leazes End, a committed first half display from Newcastle made sure of the points, with Paul Cannell heading in the opener.

Alan Gowling then centred for Mickey Burns to double the lead and Gowling also came close to getting on the scoresheet, heading against the Rangers crossbar. 

1982 Cambridge United (h) 2-0 (2-0)
Division Two 
Martin(23), McDermott(35)
20,385 
Terry McDermott hit his first goal since returning to United as Howard Gayle debuted on loan from Liverpool.

Watching in the stands were the Dynamo Kiev side that Newcastle had beaten in a friendly at SJP few days earlier.

1988 Manchester United (h) 0-0 (0-0)
Division One 
20,234 
A tedious Sunday afternoon, when Newcastle never looked in danger of breaking their four match scoring drought in this televised game and their visitors were equally inept.

1989 After a year in the manager's chair at The Victoria Ground, Bobby Moncur resigned as Manager of struggling Hartlepool United.

1993 Arsenal (a)
1-2

Premier League 
Beardsley(62)
Wright(16), Smith(60) 
36,091 
United were undone by set piece goals from Ian Wright and Alan Smith, with Steve Bould making a nuisance of himself at the near post on each occasion. 

Peter Beardsley got one back in front of the travelling army of away fans congregated at the Clock End, but no equaliser followed.

Full back John Beresford later recalled this Highbury misadventure as follows:

"This was the first time that Kevin Keegan's policy of not having worked on certain tactical things before a match caught up with us. 

"They caught us out quickly and we were chasing the game after that, and they did us again with the same trick because we couldn't get it sorted while the game was going on."

Shame they didn't talk about it at half time...

A rapid bout of scoring by the Magpies settled this top-flight tie well before half time, Alan Shearer hitting his 99th and 100th Newcastle goals. 

Rather inaccurately, Wor Al commented: "Jackie Milburn scored over 200 so I can scratch that. I don't think I'll catch him though hopefully there's a few more."

Behind almost immediately, defeat seemed inevitable when Craig Bellamy was sent off after just six minutes for lashing out at ex-Toffee Marco Materazzi, 

Although the ten men performed well, Hector Cuper's side (who included future Mag Emre) had the game wrapped up by half time.

Everton caught us napping seconds after the break when Joseph Yobo rose to meet a corner to head the only goal of the game.

By that point we should have been ahead and the home side down to ten men, when James McFadden clearly stopped Shola Ameobi's goalbound effort with his arm.

Incredibly, however, both referee Howard Webb and his linesman missed the incident.

2008 Newcastle "Manager" Joe Kinnear was charged with improper conduct.

The charge related to comments made in media interviews about referee Martin Atkinson following United's match against Fulham earlier in the month.

JFK labelled the referee at Craven Cottage as "Mickey Mouse" - a comment he was later asked to explain by the FA.

2012 Newcastle's FA Youth Cup hopes were ended at the first hurdle by Arsenal, who defeated them 0-3 at Barnet's Underhill.

2018 Former Magpie Sol Campbell began his managerial career with League Two Macclesfield Town. He lasted eight months.

Having already taken four points from their first two visits to London, United enjoyed further capital gains at Selhurst Park thanks to strike pair Callum Wilson and Joelinton. 

The Brazilian's pass on 88 minutes saw the Englishman plant the ball through the legs of Eagles 'keeper Vincente Guaita and barely 60 seconds later Wilson returned the favour.
